Edward LandonBorn in Hartford, Connecticut in 1911, Landon, dropped out of high school to enroll in the Hartford Art School, and
eventually moved to Greenwich Village in New York to study at the Art Students League. One of the important artists
he would be indebted to was Arthur Dove, who encouraged his venture into the art of abstraction. In 1939, Landon was awarded
a Guggenheim Fellowship to work on Non-Objective Painting. He eventually became intrigued with the silkscreen
process and turned away from painting, helping to organize the group known as the National Serigraph Society. He served
as its president and helped with exhibitions, lectures, and demonstrations. Landon is credited with more than 240 silkscreen prints
and is recognized as one of the most outstanding and accomplished silkscreen printmakers of his time. Some of his
notable abstract prints are, "Arrangement with Blue Major," inspired by his love of music; "Nothing Begins, Nothing Ends,"
and "Time Silhouette," relating to his studies of Nordic cultures.
